Spurs' supporters could be forgiven for feeling a sense of foreboding bearing in mind the harrowing defeat at Manchester City and the fact they have not beaten Manchester United on their own ground since 2001. Manchester United put in their best performance of the David Moyes era against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek. Spurs also won, but Europa League 2-0 victories against Tromso only go so far when the manager is under pressure. The question for André Villas-Boas is whether his team have got the 6-0 pummelling against City out of their system. A win would certainly go a long way towards strengthening his own position.
